Gigi, who has been dating Zayn for more than a year, says she's a fan of the 'British sense of charm', just like her friend Taylor Swift, who famously dated Scottish DJ Calvin Harris and most recently, Brit actor Tom Hiddleston.

But when it comes down to what the Los Angeles-born model loves most about her beau?

'I would say his brain. For the first time, we are both in a relationship where we have very similar interests outside of work and that is really important.

We cook a lot together and do art together and we're each other's best friends. We both feel we can talk about anything and learn a lot from one another.'
